Apple recently updated its online instructions to reflect that you can, in fact, use disinfectant wipes to clean your Apple devices. According to Apple's support website, you can use Clorox Disinfecting Wipes or 70 percent isopropyl alcohol wipes to wipe the display, keyboard, and other exterior surfaces of your Apple devices as long as you avoid getting moisture in any of the device's openings. Don't submerge your device in a cleaning liquid, and don't use bleach, aerosol sprays, or abrasives, as they can wear down your phone's oil-resistant coating. And lastly, don't spray anything directly on your phone's screen, either.

Of course, try to curb your phone-on-the-toilet usage, as tempting as it can be. And remember that if you don't have a sink at your disposal, hand sanitizer is a great handwashing alternative. The CDC says washing your hands for 20 seconds is your best choice for cleansing, but hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol will kill infectious microbes, including coronavirus.
